Queen's Birthday honour for Andren

The late federal member for Calare, Peter Andren, has been recognised in this year's Queen's Birthday honours list.

Peter Andren has been posthumously named a Member of the Order of Australia.

It is in recognition of his service to Parliament, and to rural and regional communities, particularly his support for Indigenous, disability and health service organisations.

Mr Andren's partner, Valerie Faber says she is proud to accept the award on his behalf.

"He sort of operated with a very caring approach with the way he represented the people of this electorate," she said.

"I think he'd be humbled by it because he was humble as well, I wish he was here to receive it though."

Seven western New South Wales residents receive Order of Australia Medals including Valerie Austin of Walgett for service to the pharmacy profession, Hilton Davis for service to Blayney, and Geoffrey Smith for service through the Bathurst Show Society and Bathurst District Historical Society.

Mick Harvey of Orange receives his OAM for service to the conservation of native flora, education and the community.

"I think it's quite important that we continue to educate people otherwise our flora and fauna will be gone," he said.

The chairman of the Lightning Ridge Aged Committee, Ian Woodcock OAM says his service to the community has been a pleasure.

Hilton Davis has been recognised for his service to Blayney and Walter Flynn for his service to Dubbo.

A former regional manager of Hazleton Airlines, the 77-year-old says he would like to see more young people do community work.

"Because ... you just can't put a value on it, it's an absolute joy to be able to help others," he said.

Narromine's Brian Gainsford also receives an OAM for 45 years of service to cricket administration.

"It was very demanding but nobody makes you do it, you do it for the love of the game."

And Edward Davies of Narromine receives an Australian Fire Service Medal.

There are also honours for the local area commander of the Dubbo-based Orana command.
